Default Help finding parts

I'm working on restoring my mom's '86 Camaro She bought it brand new in '86 and has held onto it since. Only gets driven during the summer months too keep the rust down.

The body is in good shape other than a few small scratches. The interior on the other hand has seen much better days. A few months after purchasing it someone threw a lit news paper inside and gutted it. The entire interior was replaced but it has always had electrical problems since and just other small problems.

The one thing I'm looking for right now that I can't seem to find anywhere is the OE or OE style power window switches. One of them is cracked and the white paint on them is mostly gone.

I've found a replacement for the cracked center arm rest that I'll be ordering shortly.

I have tried all the local scrap yards but none of them keep cars this old. In fact it's near impossible to find any cars that have compatible parts.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Classic Industries carries just about everything you would need to get the interior back together nicely.

There are a lot of good suppliers, and all thier prices seem to be within a dollar or two. Just be aware the cheaper versions are just that....cheap and not of good quality.
